Film/moving picture show you most recently watched

Everyone other than Escape To Victory! ...and Shaolin Soccer. Gregory's Girl. Gregory's Girl was quality. In my opinion, the best football in a film was Brian Glover in Kes - utter genius. -
Bank of England Prints £75 Billion
Billy Whitehurst replied to Christmas Tree 's topic in General Chat
Decent interest rates to encourage saving, anyone? (I know, I know, it's not that simple...) It's not that simple but it's still a good point. We're in this mess due to massive overleveraging. However, those of us didn't do this and saved are now being fucked over with almost non-existent interest rates. -
Steve Bleasedale is on the list too. Does anyone remember him from 'Big Ron Manager'? What with his potty mouth, and tactical ineptitude, he seems the ideal man to deputise for JFK.

Completely agree with you on this, smug and tedious. I also like Ginola for what it's worth. Not entirely sure of the need for the snidey subject title either. As far as I can see, he is saying that, as socialists, the French are understated about their cash and don't like to throw any wealth they may have in your face. The Brits, however, are flash gits who like to spunk their cash on things like Bentleys. So understated socialists or Keiron Dyer types? Vive la France for me!

If it's not on Sky then a good bet is The Famous Three Kings which is right next to West Kensington tube. They have all the overseas satellite channels. It may be worth phoning ahead to see if they are showing it.

If there is an award for worst claim to fame, I once met the lead singer of Aswad at Gatwick airport.

I just realised that Boumsong is at Lyon.......

Exactly, let's face it French and Scottish football isn't much better than glorified pub leagues To be fair, Lyon would hammer us. -

Fairly sure that Jonas will be able to play on Sunday. I think that for 5 bookings the ban doesn't start until 7 days after (whereas for a red card or two yellows in one game the ban is immediate) so that will mean he can play on Sunday. I think that is true but I could be talking shite.

True, but why let common sense get in the way of our transfer plans? It certainly didn't in the last transfer window.

Zenden Veron Bosnich?

LoL this coming from the lad supporting a team that let fabregas and god knows how many b-team players go for peanuts can't wait till you end up paying 20m or more to get them back You know why we let him go for peanuts? Because we have one of the best youth academies in the world. Xavi and Iniesta, both of whom came through our youth academy, were our starting midfielders and would be for years to come. He had to option for waiting for his chance, but he chose to leave. Fair enough to him. But we can afford to do that because for years, we have invested in our own infrastructure, we produce a majority of our own players. Also, we always give our youngsters a chance to make it, each year a handful of them get promoted to the first team. Its a model that premiership teams like yourself would do well to follow, you won't see results for 5-10 years, but after that, you will be relatively self sustaining. If Ashley really wanted to invest in Newcastle, he should invest in helping Newcastle create a world class youth academy. chompchomp Entering into an arguement with a Barca fan over whose club is run best is a foolish idead my friend! Too true. A club run by it's members, with no need for corporate sponsorship, with some of the best players in the world, against our debacle of a club. Anyway, we really need to be winning our home games against the likes of West Ham but my money is on all three promoted clubs going back down. Hull aren't too far from being dragged back into it.

I am sorry if you are prepared to laugh at a scoreline of 5 fkn 1, but I am not. It is shocking and unlike you I am thinking ahead. This is not only a loss but a catalyst for further losses, demoralised team. What else is there to do but laugh? Did you just watch the same game as me? It could have been 10! If you have any sense you'll write this game off because we were never going to get anything out of it and start looking ahead to our next league game which is a winnable one at home to West Ham. Exactly, it's for this sort of situation that gallows humour is designed. Just need to forget about today and hope we have a few more players available for our next match.

He did touch him. A bit soft but still a penalty. Liverpool have been good, but we have been fucking shocking, couldn't have agued it they had scored ten.

This has been like a training match for Gerrard. Looked like Collocini was running in treacle there.

Ten Storey Love Song is one of my all time favourites.

Identify your local neighbourhood facist
Billy Whitehurst replied to Dr Kenneth Noisewater's topic in General Chat
I live near the Brick Lane area, very close to the East London Mosque. I can certainly say that I do not feel like a second class citizen even though I live in a predominantly muslim area. The area is a mix of muslims, non-muslims from India/Bangladesh/Pakistan and white city types (due to the fact that it is walking distance to the city). From my (an friends who also live in the area) experience of living here for a few years, I have never had any bother. Groups do tend to keep to themselves (but that happens in most walks of life), everyone seems to respect to each other and I think it is a pretty good example of integration working. I certainly don't have a problem with signs being in English and Punjabi. I don't think the English language should be enforced upon everyone, just ask all the British expats on the Costa del Sol. What do I know though, I've only lived here for a few years and witnessed integration working successfully. You, however, walked around and saw some signs in punjabi clearly demonstrating that integration isn't working. -
I personally think that Butcher answered a question that was put to him honestly. The question is, if he had not been prompted would he have brought it up of his own accord? I'm convinced he wouldn't. Far from it being Butcher who is being pathetic, I think the Scottish media need to take a long hard look at themselves and what they're asking in a press conference. It's them that's digging up 22 year old history, not Maradona nor Butcher. I'm in total agreement that the media are just stirring things up. I also agree that Butcher answered a question that was put to him honestly. However, in my opinion, his comments make him sound like a prick and a bit of a sore loser.
-
I agree, pretty pathetic dredging up the past like this. People should let go. However, coming from a Scot, that is something else. The chorus of your national anthem is about a 700 year old battle! I personally think that Butcher is acting like a prick. A lot of footballers would have tried to get away with what Maradona did. He was an absolutely sensational footballer. A flawed genius, but a genius nonetheless.

2001's top 100 youngsters in the world
Billy Whitehurst replied to Neville Neville Neville's topic in Newcastle Forum
He was one of the programmers that worked on the game. There is quite a funny article on The Guardian website about Championship Manager. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2008/...yofsix-football -
Good to see him recognising Beardsley. They were some partnership. If I remember rightly, Gary Lineker also once said that Beardsley was his favourite ever strike partner.

What??? No where near as bad. Certainly no raising of hands to the ref like Duff did. I didn't think it possible, but you are getting even more tedious by the day.
